Unlike Kagawa, who was walking back and forth around the storage box with a happy expression on his face, most of the students in Class 8 were very calm looking at the vegetables.
Think about it, the things that everyone has been exposed to before are either meat or pasta, and the only thing related to vegetables is vegetable buns, and not everyone eats them, so in everyone’s impression, wild vegetables are also related to vegetables. Pretty much the stuff used to make hard, solid food.
Therefore, only a few people who have eaten vegetable buns and members of the tongue tip community have some expectations for these things.
Xiangchuan walked between various storage boxes, hesitating about the wild vegetables he was going to use for lunch today. After all, there are more than ten kinds of wild vegetables! In her previous life, when she was a child, she loved to go out to the market to buy cheap wild vegetables with her parents and make various seasonal delicacies. Later, when she was working as a communal animal in a big city, the price of these wild vegetables made her choose to ignore these ingredients and eat all kinds of cheap vegetables honestly. By the time I could return to my hometown, it was already winter, so there weren’t many wild vegetables to dig. Moreover, my family was busy celebrating the New Year, and there was no time to climb mountains to find wild vegetables.
Now we have to make up for the wild vegetables that have been missing over the years in one go. How can she not be excited! The more Xiangchuan thought about it, the more excited he became, walking around in front of various storage boxes.
On the contrary, it made other people anxious.
"Kagawa-kun," the class monitor said, thinking that if he remained silent, Kagawa would flatten the grass in front of the dozen lockers without coming to a conclusion, "Why don't you just choose one? Everyone, now We’re all back, it’s almost time to prepare lunch.”
"Huh? Hmm... Okay." Xiangchuan scratched his head and came to stand in front of the storage box of shepherd's purse. "Then let's eat shepherd's purse today. Go get some flour. It's about the same amount as in the morning. Ya Ting, you guys Can you still move? Let's go wash the vegetables."
"Washing vegetables?" Ouyang Yating and Nancy looked at each other in confusion. This was really an unfamiliar word to them.
After all, modern vegetables are grown in a sterile, dust-free and pollution-free environment. After picking, they are fully controlled by AI and go through water on the farm once before being sealed and stored for a long time. Therefore, for modern people who directly enjoy the fruits of their labor, For them, the word "washing vegetables" is a little too far away from them.
"Wash it with clean water... uh, just scrub it gently." In order to prevent the strange situation of all the leaves disappearing after washing the vegetables, Kagawa had to explain in detail, "Aino, Liang Gong, please put the clean water Bring the equipment together. Squad leader, labor committee member, I’ll leave it to you to ask the patrol team to help you with the flour and kneading. Remember to wash your hands before kneading. After kneading, just leave the dough untouched. Be careful not to Keep the dough dusty and insect-proof.”
The reason why Xiangchuan arranged this was because he was too tired from making noodles in the morning, and the left-behind team was busy processing the chicken and the fish caught today. He had no time and no extra energy, so he could only rely on his strength. A good patrol team should be more busy. Anyway, they just sit in the middle of the camp and knead the dough.
Ten minutes later, the shepherd's purse that had been cleaned and the rotten leaves and roots cut off was placed in the center of the camp. The next thing to do was naturally to chop the leaves into pieces.
Kagawa expressionlessly held two knives that could only be called fruit knives and chopped them back and forth on the chopping board. There was nothing he could do about it. When the base heard about the style of kitchen knives they needed, their faces turned pale with fright. It was because of the background. After getting in touch with the Xiang family and giving repeated assurances, he nodded and gave him six pairs of fruit knives.
After all, this is a sharp knife. Even if the field uniform can withstand ordinary knives and guns, if some ruthless children have evil thoughts and let other students do this, it will be a big problem.
Forget it, it’s not impossible to use, and the most troublesome problem of chopping bones can also be solved with a laser cutter. Isn’t it just cutting vegetables? A fruit knife is just a fruit knife. Kagawa comforted himself.
With Kagawa's demonstration, everyone started taking action on their own. During this period, Mandy thought it was troublesome to use a knife to chop vegetables, so she suggested compressing the shepherd's purse directly into a paste, but Kagawa rejected it directly.
——I’m going to make shepherd’s purse stuffing! It’s not about making shepherd’s purse sauce! Xiangchuan almost yelled at him, mushy vegetable juices and the like would only remind her of some horrible diet meals. Damn it, after 30,000 years, she still had to eat diet meals before she was full? Don't even think about it.
Xiangchuan brought over the chicken that the left-behind team originally planned to roast, removed the bones and chopped it into minced meat, mixed the minced shiitake mushrooms, shepherd's purse and chicken with salt and pepper and stirred evenly, then sat on a large Start wrapping the pie in front of the dough counter.
After so many days of work, Xiangchuan didn't bother to worry about the lack of this or that. He used the existing ingredients to restore 70% to 80% of the taste first to fill his stomach.
Like steamed buns, she likes pies with thin crust and thick meat, so she uses up the fillings quickly. After a while, the portion she chopped herself was used up. She happened to have eight or nine buns wrapped in them, so she just fried them in the pan first.
The pancakes were golden and crispy, making many students who had no interest in wild vegetables swallow their saliva, not to mention those who had already tasted the taste of vegetable buns. If Mandy and Fu Chengkai hadn't helped to stop them, the hungry students They probably all pounced on it and ate it.
"If you want to eat it quickly, go and help." Mandy's words directly tripled the completion speed of the shepherd's purse filling.
The stay-at-home group who originally planned to make roast chicken also came to help. Seeing that there were more people, Xiangchuan simply made a few more kinds. In addition to pies, there were also steamed buns and dumplings.
Steamed buns can actually be made by hand! This is what Class 8 students thought when they saw Xiangchuan making his first chicken and shepherd's purse bun. Looking at the chubby white dough, everyone was eager to try it. Xiangchuan was also happy to have someone to help him, and distributed a bun and dumplings to everyone. After receiving the temporary permission to use the recipe for the week, he directed everyone to start cooking today's staple meal.
When the steamed buns and dumplings are out of the pot, the chicken soup and grilled fish are also coming to a close.
When everyone was in the middle of the camp, they realized that there was a dazzling array of meals in front of them.
The fragrant shepherd's purse cake is naturally the most eye-catching. You bite into the crispy outer shell and the sweet shepherd's purse filling and fill your mouth with the crispy aroma of fried food and the refreshing taste of wild vegetables, combined with the flavor of chicken and mushrooms. Fresh and sweet, it immediately conquered all the students who had doubts about wild vegetables.
Those who love steamed buns first set their sights on shepherd's purse buns. Different from the vegetable buns usually distributed in schools, shepherd's purse buns have the unique vegetable flavor of shepherd's purse because of the addition of mushrooms and chicken.
Shepherd's purse dumplings are especially popular with girls. The bite-sized dumplings taste like snacks. Xiangchuan even took out his own small pot, boiled the oil, poured in chili powder, and poured it into a small square lunch box and sprinkled some on it. Minced garlic is eaten as a simple chili sauce. Qiu Manman and Ouyang Yating were very curious when they saw it, so they came to try it one after another. The two people who originally liked spicy solid food suddenly fell in love with the taste and divided it up directly. After seeing Xiangchuan's small dipping saucer, other students came over to try it out. As a result, Xiangchuan had to personally demonstrate how to make simple hot sauce to the spicy-loving guys in the class, which directly led to a lot more consumption of chicken soup.
The popularity of the staple food almost led to the fact that no one ate the grilled fish. Xiangchuan couldn't stand it, so he just pulled a large piece into his bowl, ate a bite of the shepherd's purse bun and a bite of the grilled fish. He enjoyed it. Everyone saw Xiangchuan's combination and followed suit. While eating, Xiangchuan told them that they should eat both staple food and complementary food. He also popularized science about the differences and meanings of complementary food and staple food in ancient times, and everyone listened with interest.
Got it, to put it simply, you have to eat steamed buns and dumplings, as well as grilled fish and chicken!
Kagawa: I think you don’t understand at all.
